You need:

12 eggs, hardboiled

several mixing bowls

white vinegar

food colouring

olive oil

paper towels

Step 1

Hard boil your eggs and let them cool. Wash in warm, soapy water and let dry.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine 3 cups warm water, 2 tbsp vinegar and a few drops of food colouring. Place eggs in dye and leave submerged until they reach your desired shade.

Step 3

In a wide, shallow bowl prepare a second batch of dye in a darker shade or different colour (this will provide the swirls). Liquid should be about 1/2 inch deep. Add 1 tbsp olive oil. Run a fork through the mixture, creating curlicues of oil on the surface.

Step 4

As oil swirls, place dyed egg in mixture and roll once around the bowl to pick up streaks.

Step 5

Remove the egg and gently pat dry with paper towel. Let dry completely on paper towel.
